930004 Migration and Gender
winter semester 2014/2015 | Last update: 20.05.2015 | Place course on memo listHave a good understanding of the gendered aspects of various forms of migration and diasporic experiences
Be familiar with a range of methodological and theoretical approaches to the study of migration and diaspora
Despite historical trends, migration is often perceived as being a predominantly male phenomenon. However figures suggest that women have migrated in almost the same numbers as men. In order to understand the phenomenon of migration in all its complexity, in its various socio-cultural, political and economic dimensions, a more holistic approach is required. Any theory of migration must account for it in terms of 'race', sexuality, religion, and class. The seminar will focus on the gendered consequences of migration, whereby an understanding based on the gender dimension serves to further enhance the complexity of migration when we consider the multiple and heterogeneous backgrounds and experiences of migrants and the very complex nature of gender relations itself.
